"Sister, Mrs. Chun has recently become pregnant again, do you know?" Yi Qing gossiped with a face.

"Yes." Yilan was faint, and I couldn't see what mood it was.

"Sister, what kind of expression do you have? Are you unhappy? Do you want to marry Cousin Harue? Yiqing pretended to be shocked.

Yilan rolled her eyes angrily and said, "I'm just not going to invite you like that?" Ay! Did you know that we have no money this month......"

Yiqing pouted: "Got it, sister." ”

Since the crossing, Yiqing has never tasted the taste of having no money to spend, and now she has been rectified by Chunjiang's daughter-in-law, and she is really stretched.

Fortunately, Yiqing's maids live frugally on weekdays and still have savings, and the two young ladies finally fell into need of relief from the maids.

"Yiqing, why don't we dismantle the glass of the space and make it into a mirror, the mirror will sell very well......" Yilan never forgot the glass of the space, especially after learning that mirrors, glass and other objects are sought-after goods.

"The parrot will cover it all with, isn't it enough for us to shovel bird poop on the roof every day?" Yi Qing denied.

"Where's the stone?" Yilan was unwilling, "Let's take it out and sell it for money!" ”

"That's definitely not going to work!" Yiqing was resolute, "We are poor ghosts, we have no money and no power, what should we do if the manuscript is robbed?" ”

"This won't work, that's not going to work, even the incense powder on your body will be broken soon......" Yilan complained.

"Sister, why don't we make some perfume?" This method is simple and practical, and Yilan remembers that a teacher taught them how to make eye ointment! So he discussed with Yilan: "This is absolutely feasible, sister, can you find someone to get some petals?" It is better to separate the kinds. ”

Just do it!

But the bunting and the little peach have a lot of daily work, and they really don't have time to help them pick flowers; The other maids in the house must use money to impress, a penny is not a hero, Yiqing can't, take the old lady Yuan gave her own surgery fee - a jade bracelet that bleached jade, as five taels of silver.

Chunjiang's daughter-in-law took the four taels of silver given by Yilan and sent the little girl to pick the petals of various colors in the garden, while Yiqing tinkered with all kinds of usable instruments in the space, and spent the last tael of silver to buy the smallest alchemy furnace from the market.

"It also needs to be extracted with alcohol, and here it is all turbid grain wine, and the color is very unsightly, maybe you can work on the wine!" Yiqing thought to herself.

Yi Qing carefully packed up the petals, used the alchemy furnace to extract alcohol, found a few glass containers, grinding dishes, and crucibles, and sent the maids to guard the door to prevent outsiders from entering, and began to grind them carefully.

Perfume is something often used by later generations, especially some foreign companies, the frequency of use is quite high, and the doctor did not dare to spray perfume when Yiqing was in later generations, but she was a fanatical container collector - many beautiful perfume bottles and wine bottles at home, and by the way, she popularized the knowledge of perfume.

also slowly pursued big brands like Chanel and Escarda to find some unique niche flavors, Yi Qing also tried homemade perfume in the middle, and has her own opinions on the taste: the fruity one makes people feel young; The floral notes are rich and fragrant, but the base notes are a little lighter......

Yi Qing carefully grinded the petals, and held the balance to match the proportions between the different ingredients: in the space there were a batch of acacia, chamomile, lily of the valley, orange blossom and warbler's tail flower, of which orange blossom and acacia were the raw materials for the preparation of fine perfumes in later generations, and the extracted essential oils had a long-lasting taste. Among the flowers sent by Chunjiang's daughter-in-law, there are also tuberoses and other plants that can be used to directly prepare perfumes, but the taste is not far inferior to high-end goods such as orange blossom.

Yilan has been playing beside her, and Yiqing is not shy about it - since she took her into the space, the two of them have been like conjoined bodies.

"There are so many petals, in fact, the bath is also very fragrant, as long as you don't sweat, you can cover the smell of your body......" Yilan was worried that his previous words might hurt Yiqing, otherwise why did this guy have convulsions: When he was like that, he bought a basket of broken petals......

"Sister, we are not their true relatives, and my cousin-in-law really doesn't like our sisters, we all rely on the relief of the bunting, and she doesn't care about it......" Yiqing complained, but didn't mention that she spent money lavishly, "And I still want to help people, I want to make some medicine and the like, just like Ye Qingmei and Ye Lao Zu did at the beginning......"

Yilan felt so ashamed, Yiqing's brilliance in her mind was even more dazzling!

Yiqing continued to grind, her hands were about to be sore, so she let Yilan take over, and said: "Sister, when I was still the third lady of the Ying family, Ying Wanjun, I could still think about how to marry a wishful husband, but I am Wang Yiqing now, without a father, mother, money, and appearance, I can only live quietly, but do you think this situation is possible now?" Why don't we find a way for ourselves? And my cousin-in-law is going to give you Zhang Luo's house......"

Yilan is extremely troubled, she was not a person before, and she never wants to get married again, "I don't care about her ......"

The big parrot grabbed the branch with one paw, supported its chin with the other, and watched the two sisters chatting with its eyes, and sneeze from time to time choked on the smell of essential oils.

"Let you go back, you won't go back, choking, right? Deserve! Yiqing spat at the stupid parrot, and smoked it with essential oil from time to time.

"It's not going back?" Yi Lan wondered.

"Is it willing to go back? His own head is almost pecked by other birds, and a group of birds eat and sleep during their daily work to beat Doudou - this is Doudou, don't talk about it, we are the Doudou in the eyes of this sister-in-law of Zhang's family......"

……

The small beaker on the alcohol lamp was bubbling and bubbling, and Yiqing stirred it carefully, for fear that it would accidentally dry up, and carefully put the preservatives on it...... Finally, take a test tube and pour a transparent liquid with a slightly pink color into it - the first rose perfume is born!

"It's the smell of moon flowers, but it smells better than moon flowers, I like it very much!" Yilan couldn't put it down.

"I added the essential oils extracted from several flowers in our space, only a little bit, this smell should be better", Yiqing used irises, one of the raw materials commonly used to make high-end perfumes in later generations, "It's too difficult to extract, so many things need so many drops." ”

Yiqing pointed to a few drops of sticky and turbid essential oil in the bottle next to her, which smelled a little stinky, and said: "It's just such a broken thing, I can still dilute a lot of perfumes, the next problem is how to sell it, this is a lot of trouble for the beautiful sister." ”

Yilan is beautiful, has a gentle personality, and is very good at observing words and feelings, and is a good businessman, but unfortunately he doesn't know a few outsiders.

"How do I do that?" Yi Lan asked, now the world is dominated by men, although there are no elders who can control them now, but it is still inconvenient to be a woman, "I think we have worked so hard to make such a small thing, how much should we sell for it...... And do you see if you can do something else at the same time? ”

"Hey! Yiqing sighed, who said it wasn't, she blamed herself for being lazy all the time; Ying Ruhai gave a lot of things before, but unfortunately it was spent inexplicably, but fortunately, the bunting was careful to maintain his livelihood......

The two of them were discussing in their own courtyard, when the voice of Chunjiang's cousin outside interrupted their train of thought.

"Let Cousin Chunjiang come in!" Yi Qing impatiently commanded through the courtyard gate.

Cousin Chunjiang was like a huge mouse, and he suddenly got into the garden, sniffing east and west, and couldn't help but be amazed, "Two cousins, this garden seems to be in a sea of flowers, but because of the petals in the garden a few days ago?" ”

"Yes, I'm making perfume, but my cousin asked me for a few taels of silver to get me some petals, cousin Chunjiang, my sister and I don't even have the last bit of body, this money is still the money for the bracelet pawn given by Mrs. Yuan last time...... Yiqing complained coquettishly.

"Huh?" Cousin Chunjiang asked suspiciously: "But I saw you buy a broken hairpin with ten silver trucks and a broken kite for eight taels of silver?" There are also ...... "Cousin Chunjiang thought to himself, 'Your cousin-in-law also agrees with me, I have seen any family spend money like flowing water, not to mention that the Zhang family is just an empty shelf, and he has to make money every day, life is not easy!'" ’

"Cousin!" Yilan interrupted Chunjiang's cousin's run, and tried to interject: "It's true that my sister used to be too ridiculous, but now she knows that she is wrong, and my sister rushed to make the perfume overnight for the livelihood of Zhangfu, cousin, what is going on?" ”

"Let's see if there's a business opportunity, and we're going to partner with my cousin!" Yiqing took the words, looking at Cousin Chunjiang with expectant eyes.

Cousin Chunjiang curiously observed the glass test tube, which was a diluted pale pink essential oil, crystal clear, full of the fragrance of the moon season, "Yes, it is the taste of our moon flowers, this is the petal you bought for two taels of silver?" ”

And so much? There is also its own space for precious French flowers! "Four taels! I gave my cousin four taels! Yiqing showed no weakness.

Cousin Chunjiang was stunned, his mother-in-law began to be greedy for money? Although it was only two taels, he changed the topic and said, "Then how much are you going to sell this?" ”

"With such a big pile of flowers, I just got a little perfume, and I also bought a lot of other things," Yi Qing pointed to a bunch of bottles and cans, and her hard-earned money hadn't been counted, "Why does this bottle cost two taels of silver!" "The perfumes of later generations, especially those with a little brand, are often thousands, and they are in the later generations of highly mechanized, and now the price is still a little cheap!

"That won't do! It's outrageous! Cousin Chunjiang resolutely rejected Yiqing's offer, and said: "The ten taels of silver caught up with the expenses of your cousin's family and me for a year when I was in the countryside, no, no!" ”
